Chapter 311: The plan of killing two birds with one stone is simply amazing!
Ran Qingxuan didn't react for a while and was in shock.
"Don't stop, tell me what's going on!"
She had just been thinking about how Qi Jing would regain the position of crown prince without Qiao Zhixu, but she didn't expect that losing the position of crown prince was just a part of someone else's party from the beginning to the end!
And she was still foolishly analyzing this and that, and in the end it was just like a joke.
Seeing Ran Qingxuan's expression was wrong, Gu Yanchen did not dare to hesitate and quickly whispered: "Qi Jing knew what Qi Ren was going to do from the very beginning, because from the day he gave the palace to Qi Ren, the entire palace was filled with his people.
In short, to outsiders, there were only three Gu breeders in the dark room. Even Qi Jing thought that there were only mountains of gold, silver, jewelry and Gu breeders in the dark room. ”
Ran Qingxuan asked casually: "Does Qi Jing really not know about my elder brother's affairs?"
"He really didn't know, because eight years ago, when the palace caught fire, Qi Ren went to the main hall and replaced all the palace servants and guards, saying that the people inside didn't serve well and that if it happened again, they would burn him to death.
The dark room only appeared after the renovation. It is very likely that Qi Ren secretly locked his eldest brother in the dark room before the new palace guards entered. ”
At this point, Gu Yanchen said uncertainly: "Qi Ren's mother, Concubine Zhong, was also in the hall at the time, and her reaction was quite intriguing..."
"What?" Ran Qingxuan didn't understand what this had to do with Concubine Zhong.
"Nothing." Gu Yanchen obviously didn't want to waste his time on unnecessary people, and continued.
"Let's not talk about Concubine Zhong for now. Let me tell you what happened next."
"In short, Qi Jing knew that Qi Ren had hidden three Blue Rain Gu Masters in the palace, and he should also know what Qi Ren was going to do. He should have been waiting for an opportunity to get rid of Qi Ren.
The incident with Wen Chapa was the trigger. Chang Hu told me that Qi Ren's maternal family paid a lot of money, and Emperor Mingde emptied the treasury and gave up three cities. He almost had to cede land to appease the anger of the Yigui leader Wen Lamon, but in the end..."
Gu Yanchen's expression became a little strange when he said this, and Ran Qingxuan urged him, "Hurry up and tell me, there's no hurry to do it!"
"In the end...in the end Emperor Mingde agreed to the solution proposed by Yigui. He did not need to cede land or pay compensation, but he had to let Qi Zhiyun marry, and the three cities would be used as a dowry..."
"My hair? Are you kidding me?" Ran Qingxuan was so shocked that he was almost speechless.
"Is Qi Zhiyun willing? Qi Ren willing?" Those who understand will know what she means.
"The key is here. Qi Jing set up a plan to let Qi Ren succeed, and then had someone induce Qi Ren to speak to Emperor Mingde and make him regret the deal with the Yigui.
But Qi Zhiyun stayed, but the Yigui had launched several attempts at the border using this matter as an excuse. ”
Speaking of this, Gu Yanchen, who always cared about the people of Northern Qi, did not seem to be very worried.
Sure enough, Gu Yanchen gave a reasonable explanation.
"From what I know, Prince Qi Jing seems to be in a good position on the surface, but because the queen died inexplicably early and his mother's family fell into decline early, he has no one behind him.
After all, how can one inherit the throne without anyone's support? As far as I know, before this, two-thirds of the court officials had supported Qi Ren as the crown prince.
Qi Jing has been occupying the position of crown prince for these years only by virtue of being the eldest son. It can be said that if it weren't for Master Shen's support behind him, his position as crown prince would have been lost long ago.
However, Qi Ren was different. Everyone from Concubine Zhong's family held important positions, and some of them had even helped the late emperor to establish the Northern Qi dynasty. With so much pressure added up, it was overwhelming the pressure on the emperor. ”
Ran Qingxuan was stunned after hearing this, as if he suddenly understood why Qi Ren had to be brought down in this way.
"So what you mean is that Qi Jing's ultimate goal in doing this is to prevent Qi Ren from having a chance to turn things around?"
"And this war cannot be fought, because he will soon remove the poison from Emperor Mingde's body and put the blame on Qi Ren, leaving him with no way to defend himself?"
Gu Yanchen nodded: "Smart!"
For some reason, Ran Qingxuan suddenly thought of what Qi Jing said before he left in Shuangling City, and the warning look in his eyes when he looked at her.
"I said that my speculation at the time was correct. The warning look in his eyes clearly told me that it would be better for me not to think about looking for Chen Huai. He was just afraid that we would ruin his plan."
"Because once we go find Chen Huai or send him a letter, he will definitely become suspicious, which will indirectly ruin his plan."
When Gu Yanchen heard her calling Shen Huai in a hurry, he lowered his eyes silently.
But Ran Qingxuan didn't notice and continued talking to himself.
"It's amazing! Qi Jing's method is like killing two birds with one stone. Not only does it eliminate Qi Ren, but also Concubine Zhong's family has no chance of turning things around!"
"Indeed, in this way, not only will Qi Jing be able to sit firmly on the throne of the Crown Prince, but Emperor Mingde will definitely not keep Concubine Zhong's family when he wakes up. In this way, it is only a matter of time before Qi Jing succeeds to the throne.
After all, apart from the two sons of Emperor Mingde, the rest are princesses..."
"That's not right. From what I remember, didn't Emperor Mingde have another son?"
In her original body’s memory, when she was six or seven years old, she followed Chen Huai to a palace banquet. She remembered that there was a prince sitting in the corner, but he had very little presence.
Gu Yanchen said in a low voice without even thinking: "You should be talking about the third prince Qi Shen."
"Why don't I have any impression of him?" After all, the original body's memory of this person only stayed at the palace banquet when he was a child.
"Qi Shen was born when Emperor Mingde favored a maid who cleaned the palace after getting drunk. Since the incident happened in Concubine Zhong's palace, he stayed with Concubine Zhong the entire time.
But when Qi Shen was ten years old, he attempted to harm Qi Jing. Emperor Mingde didn't like this son in the first place, so he broke one of his legs without even asking the reason. He also sent his mother, Lu Zhaoyi, to the Han Palace, and they were not allowed to return to the palace without being summoned. ”
"Does that mean there is no such person in the palace?"
Gu Yanchen nodded and said, "By doing this, Emperor Mingde is telling everyone that he will not let his son have a chance to get involved in the throne, and those in the court all assume that there are only two princes in Northern Qi."
"I think it would be better for Qi Jing not to cure Emperor Mingde's poison, but just kill him and become emperor..."
Gu Yanchen knew that she was speaking in anger, so after comforting her for a while, he added some more firewood to the fire.
"In short, Qi Jing is digging his own grave. If Master Shen knows about this, he won't even be able to sit on the throne, let alone the crown prince.
I can wait for that day to come, but I'm afraid I won't be able to see the wonderful expression on his face. ”
Indeed, Master Shen has the late emperor's will in his hand, and the value of this thing is not something that anyone can compare to.
"Let's put this matter aside for now. Regardless of whether Fu Fan is someone planted by Concubine Zhong or Qi Jing, we have to find a chance to get rid of him, otherwise he will always be a hidden danger."
It turns out that Ran Qingxuan never believed what the assassin said from the very beginning!
